If I become a paid subscriber on the RadioReference website and I sync all of the frequencies over to Win500, will it do everything for me?

If you are a paid subscriber and have win500 and the programing cable you will be able to import the system from RR into the software, save it, and upload the system to you scanner, you can import all you want, conventional frequencies, trunked systems, save it, you can add to, subject from, edit, alter, whatever with the software, and you'll be on your way... That's what most users of the newer scanners do, then you can play with it and learn how to program by hand...
Or someone in your area might have a win file already set up and if they attach it to a message, you can upload that into your scanner...
Okay, thanks! Sounds easy enough. I appreciate all of your help. I will update you with how everything goes.

Problem:
I uploaded the RadioReference database for Morris County, NJ to Win500 and it came up with the following error:
One or more of the systems VHF/UHF frequencies don't match the bandplan information sent in the RR XML. It appears that either the bandplan info is incomplete, or the system frequency data is incorrect. You may need to obtain additional or more accurate trunking table information before this system can be tracked correctly.
I tried uploading everything to my scanner anyway and have not heard anything on any of the trunking talkgroups. Please help!

I fooled with this file for 5 minutes, if you want to unzip it in your win500 directory and take a look at it, I don't know the system, but, try it if you want... It's attached, let me know if it's ok, I tried...

What did you do? I don't hear anything still. Thanks so much for trying though!

I imported the system into win500, it didn't have any scan lists assigned to the talk groups, and the scan lists weren't enabled on the general settings tab.
Thanks - What do you think the problem was with the Win500 error?

Got me, I did the same thing you did, maybe someone who lives up your way will read this thread and attach a file they know works, sorry I couldn't help, now it will bother me...
It's not your fault - you tried. I appreciate it! Does anyone know why this error is coming up?

My desk blocked out the trunking part of the scanner, so everytime I would wait to hear something on my scanner, it wouldn't pick it up. I felt like an idiot. Thanks for everyone's help! Would you reccomend buying the Win500 software?

I did, it will expire in 30 days, I have used it allot to change frequencies, add or subtract systems, change colors on LED, change delay time, in my case it comes in handy, that will have to be your choice. I'm glad your up and running!!! Enjoy!!!

Here is another site to get some really good info and frequencies for NJ, State Police info is very good, that's why win500 is good to have, it's easier to type info into win500 then upload into the scanner:

The site is updated and current. Whenever John receives new info he posts it ASAP. He actually has a number of PDF Files that you can access here: http://wc2em.net:8080/scanner/
